Bath re-enamelling for Longman, without a refit. Send us photos for a fixed price, then we come to you.

When to call us in Longman
Once enamel loses its gloss, it stains more easily, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An old resurfacing that is failing
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that’s seen better days
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Bath re-enamelling in Longman, done in place
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and we can resurface acrylic baths as well. The result is a smooth, even, glossy finish. Our technicians work on basins & shower trays, acrylic baths and pressed steel baths, and people most often call us about several chips and rust patches and a bath in a colour that no longer suits.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
Should you replace it?
A refit takes several trades and several days. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Longman
Resurfacing from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One picture of the entire bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Repair dripping taps early
- Store bottles off the bath
- Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
- Dry the bath after use to stop limescale
Wipe the bath dry after use where you can, and rinse away any product left on the surface.
On a worn bath, rust spots keep spreading. It’s simpler to resurface before they spread.

Common questions in Longman
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes, often. The inside is resurfaced, and we can refinish the outside as well.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you make a coloured bath white?
Yes. We can resurface a coloured bath in white, and we can do the rest of the suite as well.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a full day, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Taps, tiles and the floor are masked off.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- Primer and finish coats are applied.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
